Flowers That Bloom In Spring
Include Too Many Dandelions
There was a time, incredible as it
seems, when the dandelion was a
cultivated plant, shown with pride
at flower shows. Times have
changed.
Now dandelions are pests that
thwart homeowners in their never -
ending quest for a perfect lawn,
though the flowers delight children
and yield a wine that comforts
elderly aunts.
But in 1871 dandelions were
exhibited by the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, and in a few
years French and American horti
culturists were selling choice
varities.
These days, few people relish the
sight of the bright yellow flowers,
but many relish the taste of
dandelion leaves, the National
Geographic Society says.
In the spring, dandelion greens
make a tasty salad when blanched,
Marriage Enrichment
For Couples Begins May 10
Couples are now being enrolled
in a series of marriage enrichment
classes that will be taught by Ellen
Willis, home economics extension
agent.
Four classes of about one and
one-half hours each will be offered,
beginning May 10.
Each of the classes, Mrs. Willis
said, will be designed to help
couples develop interpersonal skills
that can lead to a richer, more
enjoyable marriage. The skills, she
added, will not only enhance the
couple's relationship, but their
effectiveness in relating to their
children, friends and fellow work
ers.
A key part of each class will be a
videotape presentation prepared by
extension human development
specialists at North Carolina State
University. Couples will practice
the skills observed with assistance
from the total group.
The first class will deal with
self-understanding on how to value
yourself and be able to relate
positively to other people. The
second class will cover communica
tion, and especially how to listen
and speak for yourself. The third
class will center around consensus
or the ability to handle conflict
constructively. The final class will
emphasize commitment to the
goals of the marriage and how a
couple can continue to learn and
grow.
Each class will begin at 7:30
P.M. at the auditorium of the
county office building.
For futher information and a
reservation call Mrs. Willis at
875-2162.
Unrefrigerated Milk
Newest Energy - Saver
Grocers no longer will have to
keep their dairy shelves cold if
sterilized milk catches on.
Sterilizing milk so it can be
stored unrefrigerated has gained
new impetus from recent refine
ments in the process and the
potential energy savings it
promises.
The concept of milk treated to
withstand long periods without
chilling isn't new and has taken
various forms, the National Geo
graphic Society points out.
Milk powder was part of the
rations carried by Genghis Khan's
troops in the 13th century. Today's
powdered milk has come a long way
since World War II, when it
usually was served up as a few
sticky white globs swimming in
clouded water.
The Canadian army tried anoth
er approach in 1942, and revived tt
during the 1950s: freezing milk so
it would stay fresh longer.
Quart cartons of milk were
frozen at a dairy plant in New
Jersey and shipped in refrigerated
cars to Winnipeg. There they were
sent another 1,100 miles north by
rail to Fort Churchill, on Hudson
Bay, and stored until needed.
Chopped up and thawed, the
milk remained fresh for another ten
days or so under normal refrig
eration.
The customary method of pro
cessing milk, however, stresses
heating more than freezing.
Milk that is pasteurized is heated
to at least 143 degrees F. for 30
minutes or 161 degrees F. for 15
seconds. This kills all of the disease
? producing organism and many of
the bacteria that cause milk to
sour.
Heating the milk to still higher
temperatures would kill all the
bacteria, but the process has not
been popular in this country
because customers objected to the
milk's "cooked" or "burned" taste.
Some compared the flavor to
cabbage; others said it tasted like
caramel.
But sterilized milk requires no
refrigeration and can be stored in
ordinary containers for months.
Milk producers in Europe have
been sterilizing milk for years.
In the 1940s, a Maryland
inventor began seeking a way to kill
the bacteria in milk without
changing its flavor. Elmer Davis
developed his method in 1942, but
was unable to interest anyone in it
until recently.
His process uses a "free - falling
film heater" in which milk is
heated to 300 degrees F. for one
second, without ever touching a
surface hotter than the milk itself.
All bacteria in the milk are killed,
but the milk does not taste
"boiled."
The milk, now beine tested at the

University of Maryland, should
have an unrefrigerated shelf life of
several months.
At the University of North
Carolina, researchers have devel
oped another method by isolating
an enzyme that removes the scalded
taste from sterilized milk. The
cooked milk is passed over glass
beads coated with the enzyme,
triggering a reaction that restores
the fresh flavor to the milk.
chilled, and served with dressing.
They also are widely used as
potherbs. Gourmets advise cutting
the leaves while young, since they
grow bitter with age.
The venturesome fry dandelion
blossoms, and say they taste like
fried mushrooms. Many swear by a
dandelion infusion as a spring tonic
and blood purifier.
Folklore does have scientific
support, since dandelion greens are
rich in vitamins A and B. protein,
calcium, and phosphorus.
The roots are useful, toe.
Roasted and ground, they can be
made into a palatable, but bitter,
brew. The inhabitants of the
Mediterranean island of Minorca
once survived a famine by eating
dandelion roots.
Wine pressed from the flowers is
pure Americana, conjuring up
memories of starched spinsters and
shaded parlors. In Ray Bradbury's
nostalgic novel "Dandelion Wine," *
bottles of the golden liquid are
"summer caught and stoppered."
Every spring, children all over
the United States arrive home from *
school clutching in sticky, green
stained hands of drooping bouquet
of dandelions for mother.
The dandelion's scientific name
is Taxaxacum officinale, and its
popular name is a corruption of the
French dent-de-lion, or lion's
tooth, named because the jagged
leaves' supposedly resemble lions'
teeth.
The herb is known by many other
names, ranging from the terse
epithets of gardeners to blowball,
cankerwort, doon - head - clock,
fortune - teller, horse gowans, and
Irish daisy.
The hardy plant has adapted
itself to many climates in North
America, Europe, central Asia,
and the Arctic. It immigrated to
America from Europe soon after
the first colonists landed, arriving
perhap in the earthen ballast then
carried by many ships.
As it often reproduces by parthe
nogenesis. the dandelion need not
rely on the vagaries of wind or bees
for pollination. Reviewing the life
cycle of the dandelion, one botanist
ominously concludes that the "ter
rifyingly efficient" herb stands a
good chance of inheriting the earth.
Grassgrowers agree.
"Keep the faith, baby!" has
become a commonplace expression
in our society. Along with "Hang in
there, man," it may be delivered
lightly and thoughtlessly.
At the same time, however, it
may be most appropriate and
significant, for "keeping the faith"
is one of the great tasks of life.
Particularly "in a foreign land."
The writer of Hebrews reminded
his readers that Abraham had
"kept the faith" when he respond
ed to God's call to leave his familiar
surroundings and journey to an
unknown land which "he was to
receive as an inheritance" (He
brews 11:8). His response may
seem not all that remarkable to us
today, unless we put ourselves in
his shoes and consider how we
might react if in some way God
called us to leave our homes and go
off into a foreign land virtually
unknown to us.
But Abraham also "kept the
faith" in what he did when at last
he arrived in and began to dwell in
that "foreign land" which today we
know as Israel. It had taken great
courage to leave his homeland for
the unknown, but it took also great
courage to maintain his faith in
those unfamiliar surroundings.
Perhaps this was an even greater
test of his faith, for there is nothing
so debilitating to our faith than an
environment either indifferent or
even hostile to that faith. It is
relatively easy to "keep the faith"
when people around us are keeping
it too.
When I was a teenager we used
to say that our church youth camp
was "a miniature kingdom of
God," for it seemed easy to be a
Christian in these supportive sur
roundings. The trick, of course,
was to maintain that same level of
Christian commitment and char
acter when we returned home from
church camp. That's when "keep
ing faith" became much more
difficult.
Actually, this is the problem that
confronts every Christian: to keep
the faith in an environment that
may not be conducive to faith and
may, in fact, be even hostile to it.
There was a time in our nation's
history when most communities
were heavily influenced bv the
presence of their local churches (of
course there were glaring limi
tations to this influence, too).
Today this is less likely to be so.
Most of us -- including many rural
people, too -- live in what Theolo
gian Harvey Cox called "the secular
city." Whatever is the meaning of
that "city" -- and there is much
disagreement on that score -- it is
obvious that the Christian feels
much more like a "stranger and
exile" there than ever before.
Many people mourn the loss of
our religiously ? oriented commu
nities. yet, as Hebrews makes clear,
the Christian can never be truly "at
home" here, but "keeps the faith"
in this "foreign land" so that at last
he may know that "better country"
?? the City of God!
Read Ephesians 2:13-22
Our commonwealth is in heaven,
and from it we await a Savior, the (
Lord Jesus Christ. (Philippians
3:20, RSV)
I awoke one morning with a
proud and happy feeling. After
having been a refugee and stranger)
for many years, and after having
passed a difficult examination the
day before, 1 had become a Swiss
citizen.
My eyes fell on the Bible
calendar, and I read Luke 10:20:
"Rejoice that your names are
written in heaven."
What a wonderful lesson! It is
good to be a citizen of a country
with a rich tradition of freedom and
Christian faith. It is infinitely
better to be a fellow citizen with the
saints and a member "of the
household of God."
One version translates Philip
pians 3:20, "Our citizenship is in
heaven." How do we attain this
priceless possession? We must
accept the sacrifice of our Lord
Jesus and surrender ourselves to
His love. The Lord will then build
and mold us to be living stones of
His holy temple.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, our
hearts sing and rejoice because we
are Thy children through the
redemptive love of our Savior. Give
us grace to live as citizens of
heaven. For His precious name's
sake. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
Today we will radiate the joy and
peace of God wherever we go.
